Cannot install on Windows

[MrBudgens]

Installation fails due to the dependency of healpy on cfitsio. There's an issue on the healpy github about this that has been open since 2012, so a fix seems unlikely to be imminent.

If astropy_healpix gives you the functionality you need, using that instead could circumvent this issue.

I'll look into astropy_healpix and see if it contains all the functionality that dustmaps needs. It would be nice to reduce the number of dependencies (I already rely on astropy, so this would effectively be one less), but it would take some testing to make sure that nothing breaks after switching out the HEALPix library.

Was this ever resolved or was there a solution found?
